I have been a professional chef for 20 years. I started working in restaurants at 16 before graduating from The Culinary Institute of America in 2008. I have worked at French, Italian and American restaurants and continue to learn more about the different cuisines of world. I left my job as an executive chef in 2023 to spend more time with my husband and dogs. Since then, I have found enjoyment working as a personal chef for families in the area. My hobbies are camping, hiking, kayaking and gardening.
